Worktop repair in Mere, done in place
You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. We regularly repair granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped edge and burns from hot pans.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What else we do in Mere
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Clean spills immediately
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
FAQs for Mere
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Mere is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

- Scratches and knife marks
